HemiSam Posted April 25 Report Share Posted April 25 The Mucky Duck....#WINNING! I haven't been in soooo long. We got to see The English Beat (label in the U.S.) with General Public at the Bayou Music Center last weekend. I have to say Dave Wakeling is still jamming well. The two bands put on a great show IMHO. Adam Ant....well, let's just say he has a good band. The percussion section was impressive.

Friday, I went and saw JJ Grey and Mofro at the Shed in Maryville. It was good for what it was, even tho I wasn't in the mood for it. I stuck it out for the recording, which I think turned out ok: https://archive.org/details/mofro2024-04-26 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HemiSam Posted April 28 Report Share Posted April 28 I believe I have Brighter Days live downloaded. I expect that would be a pretty cool show. HS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voltron Posted May 2 Report Share Posted May 2 First night of the Violent Femmes tour. Waiting and admiring a very large sax on stage. On the wall we found a photo of the u2 concert I saw here. Definitely one day my top five rock concerts. So funny to see those fro's on Bono and Adam Clayton. 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voltron Posted Saturday at 10:32 PM Report Share Posted Saturday at 10:32 PM The Femmes show was a lot of fun and they were just as rough around the edges as ever. They have never performed their albums start to finish but it worked well. They played Hallowed Ground first and then their self titled first album after a brief intermission. Three songs made up the encore and sent the aged crowd home happy. The giant sax is apparently a Contrabass Saxophone and sounded like a fog horn even compared to the baritone sax that Blaise Garza also played. The other unusual instrument was the Weber kettle bbq that the drummer played. 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MexicanDragon Posted Monday at 01:57 AM Report Share Posted Monday at 01:57 AM Nice! Love the Femmes and saxophone! I was wondering if that was a bass or contrabass; was thinking CB but there are some basses out there that are less compact, seemingly. That is an octave below a bari sax and TWO octaves below alto (which is what I play, and @Aura and @thrice and some others around here use to play, IIRC.) That thing is a beast; I love it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Femmes sax player is Blaise Garza, and while he appears to play the entire range he bills himself as the Femmes' "Contrabass Saxophone Player". Seems like a CB! https://www.blaisegarza.com/gallery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
